Chapter 13 Andrew replied calmly , Oh well , its not like they were much of use to him anyway .
Nyla looked puzzled , not quite understanding his meaning .
However , Andrew did not .
elaborate further .
With his medical expertise , he had long ago diagnosed Philips issues with impotence and premature ejaculation .
Hence , his penis was practically useless .
Suddenly , the office door burst open .
Bernard stormed in with a group of hospital staff , his face turning ashen at the sight of Philip writhing on the floor and clutching his crotch .
Dr.
Lloyd , as a medical professional , youve violated ethics by assaulting a colleague .
Do you understand the consequences ? Bernard growled A doctor examining Philip exclaimed , This is bad , really bad ! Bernards face paled .
What is it ? Did this bastard kill my son ? The doctor shook his head .
No , Dr.
Philips just unconscious .
But Im afraid … his ability to have children may be permanently compromised .
The room fell silent , shocked gazes filled with pity directed at Philip .
A man having his most prized possession taken away was simply unimaginable , and any man would rather die than that happening to them .
! Bernards eyes flashed with purderous intent .
Dr.
Lloyd , youre dead .
Philip is my only son .
Ill make you wish you were never born ! Andrew smirked .
Your beast of a son sexually harassing a nurse in the office ? Arent you going to say anything about that ? Nyla stepped forward , tear stains still visible on her face .
Dr.
Hackett , Dr.
Lloyd isnt lying .
Dr.
Philip … tried to force himself on me .
If Dr.
Lloyd hadnt arrived in time , I would have been … violated ! The other staff members exchanged uncomfortable glances .
Philips disheveled state and exposed underwear painted a clear picture of what he had been up to before passing out .
Bernard wore a grim expression .
All of a sudden , be raised his hand and slapped Nyla , exclaiming , Nonsense ! Youre nothing but a lowly nurse .
How dare you conspire with Dr.
Lloyd to slander my son ? Ill make you both pay ! Nyla cowered , covering her head as she burst into tears .
Dr.
Hackett , Im not lying ! Everything I said is true ! Bernards sudden aggression stunned the other staff members .
Dr.
Hackett , you cant do this ! Dr.
Hackett , lets talk this out .
Violence isnt the answer ! Despite the protests , no one dared to intervene .
The hospitals chief was rarely seen , leaving Bernard , as deputy chief , to rule with an Iron fist His vindictive nature meant that anyone hoping to keep their job had to tread carefully around him .
Suddenly , a hand shot out and gripped Bernards wrist tightly .
Bernard howled in pain and rage .
Andrew , you bastard ! How dare you lay your hands on me ! Ill have you torn to shreds ! The staff watched in disbelief as Andrew , usually mild mannered , showed such ferocity .
First , he had incapacitated the son .
The next second , he was manhandling the father .
They could not help but wonder if Andrew was trying to take down both the Hackett father son duo .
Andy , let go of Dr.
Hackett right now ! Andy , youve lost your mind ! You cant assault your superior like this ! Bernard , Andys young and impulsive .
